March Balanced Life Goals

As I've explained before, when I do my monthly balanced life goals, I picture a wheel with several spokes, each spoke representing an aspect of my life that is important to me.  Taken together, I like to think that they make a well-balanced life.  Ideally, each spoke is of equal length and the arcs drawn between the spokes are equally rounded to make a perfectly circular rim around the wheel, without any bump-outs or indents.  A well-balanced wheel results in a smoother ride; a wonky wheel results in a bumpy ride.  Currently, as shown in my month-end reviews, I am mostly wobbling along!

These are my March Goals for a more Balanced Life:

Spiritual:  The goal is to live a spiritually meaningful life.
- Continue with daily prayers and gratitude; focus on being positive
- Take time for meditation

- Cultivate non-attachment  - continue with the attempt to declutter; the goal is 100 items in March

- Attend the monthly rosary prayer gathering

Environment:  The goal is a clean, tidy, uncluttered house and a well-maintained garden.

House: 

- Focus on decluttering and maintaining cleaned areas

Garden:
- Maintain (water 2x per week; weed)

- Prepare a planting bed & scatter some flower/vegetable seeds

Daughter:  The goal is to continue to have a close relationship with her.
- Celebrate her 25th birthday with her!

- Daily texts, phone calls, emails, and video chatting, once she goes back

Family & Friends:  The goal is to keep in touch with various family members and friends.

- Call, email, etc.

- Will be seeing several members of the family and friends at the monthly prayer gathering, if attending

Community:  The goal is to become more involved in my community

Career:  The goal is to continue to do work which I enjoy (for the most part) and which enables me to support myself.

- Reserve a space to attend one of the monthly retirement seminars

Finances:  The goal is financial security.

Health & Well Being:  The goal is good health.

- Attend the appointments with my various medical doctors - 3 scheduled so far in March (surgeon - to get stitches removed - on 3/7; primary care on 3/9, podiatrist on 3/15)

- Continue to go for additional screening tests, as needed

- Continue to monitor blood pressure, sugar levels, and weight

- Continue to focus on a healthier diet, drinking enough water (8x 8oz), exercising regularly (walk for 30 minutes during the work week), and getting sufficient sleep (keep trying for that elusive 11:30 p.m. bed time during the work week!)

- Focus on accomplishments and staying positive

Time Management:  The goal is having enough time to do all what I want to do!

- Procrastinate less

- Implement routines and schedules/get myself on a better time table!

Leisure/Crafts/Hobbies/Me-Time:  The goal is to relax doing something I enjoy doing for the pleasure of it.

- Set aside 30 minutes a day to do something relaxing, such as reading books, or doing a craft

So, those are my goals for March!  Is anyone else making monthly goals?
